To celebrate the release of Naked Lunch which is released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray on 17th April from Arrow Video, we have an exclusive clip from the 4K's special features to share. Scroll down to see the exclusive clip of Chris Walas talking about the film's special creatures and effects.
In a career dedicated to seeing the unseeable and filming the unfilmable, only David Cronenberg could do justice to William S. Burroughs' controversial novel, Naked Lunch. Weaving together elements of Burroughs' own remarkable biography with the content of the book, Cronenberg's film steps inside the body and mind of an author to depict the dangerous act of imagination itself from the inside out.
Naked Lunch won Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Screenplay at the 1992 Genie Awards and features an astonishing score by Howard Shore (Videodrome). Naked Lunch is provocative, transgressive, and surreal – a feast for the senses, where nothing is true and everything is permitted.
Former junkie William Lee (Peter Weller, Robocop) makes ends meet as an exterminator. But when he and his wife Joan (Judy Davis, Barton Fink) discover the hallucinatory properties of the powder he uses to kill bugs, they become hooked, and their world is changed forever. Insects speak, typewriters mutate and talk, interdimensional beings reveal themselves, identities fracture and blur; nothing and no one is quite what it seems. When Bill, under the influence of drugs, or the bugs that have begun talking to him, shoots his wife, he flees to Interzone, at once a place and a state of mind, where things only get stranger.
